The CMOS sensor in a camera is a light sensor that takes in the light of an image and turns it into electrons, the electrons are then turned into pixels so that they can be viewed. CMOS stands for Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor.

What is CMOS often referred to as?
CMOS is an on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers that stores information and is also used as image sensors (CMOS sensor)
What is CMOS in photography?
CMOS is a type of sensor built in to an SLR camera.. Another sensor you may come across is a CCD sensor witch tend to be smaller.
What is the purpose of a CMOS sensor?
A CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor is typically used in the constructing integrated circuits. It is used in microprocessors and microcontrollers.
What is image detector?
An image sensor (detector) is a device that converts an optical image to an electric signal. It is used mostly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. Early sensors were video camera tubes but a modern one is typically a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensor.
What kind of products does Hynix manufacture?
According to their website Hynix manufacture many products such as Computing memory, mobile memory, graphics memory, NAND flash, CMOS image sensor etc.
Is image sensor a MEMS sensor?
No, the image sensor is not a MEMS flow sensor as many think.
Does the Canon EOS 300D have an APS-C or full frame CMOS sensor?
The Canon 300D is an APS CMOS sensor measuring 22.7 x 15.1 (slightly larger than the 350D's 22.2 x 14.8 mm). In contrast, the 1Ds full frame CMOS sensor was 35.8 x 23.8 mm (2002).
What is full frame camera?
Any 35 mm film camera or digital camera, usually a Digital Single Lens Reflex (D_SLR) that uses a 24 mm by 36 mm area on film or which has an image sensor (CCD, CMOS, or other) to form the image.

What are the features of the Canon Rebel XSi?
The Canon Rebel XSi features a 3-inch LCD monitor, Canon EOS, 12.2 MP Sensor (CMOs), and Image Processor Digic 3 with live view mode.
Do DSLR cameras work without the lens?
NO. The lens is required to focus the image on the CCD sensor.
What are the technical specification of the FS 100?
Sony NEX-FS100 is a professional video camera. Sensor size is super 35. Sensor type is CMOS. It has a hinged display measuring 3.5 inches. Lenses are interchangeable and it does have available image stabilization. It includes built-in speaker and HDMI video outs.
